Khlir-Rend Beacon Layer
Overview
Khlir-Rend Beacon Layer is a surface listening post on the dust flats of Khlir-Rend, in sight of a secondary gate ring. There is no formal starport: tone-stakes, chirp profilers, and a keeper dugout mark an X landing. Scout crews log gate approach geometry, UWP confirmation, and the layer's chirp profile for Mutual Charter filing. A planted false marker can add a second chirp whose coordinates do not match the charter cairn.
